Title: Firewall and other problems
Post by: meelox on November 27, 2006, 06:35:26 PM

Below please find a copy of my Hijackthis LOG file .....
I have recently had problems with my computer slowing down and for the past couple of days ZONEALARM has refused to work ... so like an idiot I uninstalled it, thinking I could get it back from the internet....but I am using win98 and I cant find a copy of the old zonealarm.. 5.5... can you tell me where to find that.
I downloaded and installed sygate firewall (because I was afraid to be without one) and it seems to be working fine.  

Here is my lates hijackthis file :

Very sorry for the delay, your log looks good
It you don't want to run Sygate's

You can find the version of Zone Alarm from this link
Hope this helps

Don't forget
With Windows 98 or ME it's better to use an older version of Sygate
5.5.2710
Coincidentally, you can find the older version of Sygate at oldversion.com also
I really like that firewall, your call
